Sometimes, a dyno is the easiest way for a climber to get between two holds on a route. Sometimes, it’s got nothing to do with climbing at all.

How far is the world’s longest dyno? Turns out, it’s pretty far. Watch this parkour athlete make big jumps on the wall look like playthings, and then spring toward a world record.
